A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Sanbao was completely stunned.

He boldly looked at Emperor Tai'an's face.

The Qilin Guards are a secret guard of the Dongrui Kingdom who only obey the emperor's orders. Every time they appear, they only wear special black unicorn masks on their faces. No one knows their identities and origins. They only know that every time they appear, Both mean something big and loud.

"Go ahead. If I don't invite them out, some of them may be ready to take action."

Emperor Tai'an was very sad when he said this.

The late emperor did not favor him.

It was just that he and Wei Lan were in love, and Wei Lan wanted to marry him, so the Yue family had the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, and their life was a little better among the princes.

Later, when he was named King An, he originally wanted to go to Qingzhou to become a vassal king. However, after the throne was changed, his brothers and uncles caused a lot of troubles. Small wars continued throughout Dongrui, and there were also Western powers outside. Jue and Beirong looked at each other with eager eyes.

At that time, the Liu family threw an olive branch to him.

Yandao asked Liu Baozhu to be the queen, and he would support him in the throne. He didn't want to see the people of Dongrui living in dire straits, so he agreed to this condition.

At this point, with the help of these two great Yue families, he has been able to sit on the high platform for so many years.

He still hasn't regretted his original decision, but he just feels that he owes Weilan mother and son.

He originally thought that as long as he planned well, Weilan and her son would suffer some temporary injustice, and when he gradually removed the power of the Liu family, Cong'er would definitely be the one to sit on the throne in the future.

But I didn't expect that the Liu family would not allow Cong'er to grow up...

Although he knew in his heart that the body buried in the prince's tomb was not his biological son, he had sent so many secret guards to search for him in the Southeast Navy but had no results, and he was still suffering in his heart.

Wei Lan has become more and more alienated from him. If Cong'er really goes, then he and Wei Lan will never be able to go back...

"Your Majesty, the leader of the Qilin Guard has arrived." Zhao Sanbao's voice broke Emperor Tai'an's confused thoughts.

There are spies of the Qilin Guards inside and outside the palace. As long as Zhao Sanbao releases the smoke, the leader will come.

When Zhao Sanbao retreated, the leader in black knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

His voice was calm, and there was no hint of concern. It was just a routine conversation.

Emperor Tai'an showed a wry smile, "What do you think!"

A pair of dark eyes looked at him through the black and cold mask. Without any trace of emotion, he just asked: "Your Majesty summoned me late at night. Do you have any instructions?"

Emperor Tai'an asked: "How is the third prince doing in the Southeast Navy? Is he safe?"

"Since I promised His Majesty that I will protect the Third Prince, the Qilin Guard will definitely do what he said, unless one of my Qilin Guards dies."

"Okay." Emperor Tai'an nodded happily.

"I have one more thing for you to do...help me find Xiao Cong back."

Although the leader was kneeling and looking at Emperor Tai'an who was lying on the bed, his gaze was a bit condescending, "Your Majesty, you should know the rules of the Dongrui Kingdom. You can only..."

"Cough, cough." Emperor Tai'an coughed for a while, "I can only dispatch you three times in my life. I know that I am not confused yet!"

The leader looked at him, "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to find a person whose life or death is unknown? In the current situation, if Your Majesty finds the person, it means you have to make a choice."

A sneer appeared on Emperor Tai'an's lips, "Don't you Qilin Guards care about the change of throne? Now you are interested in knowing who I prefer?"

The leader was noncommittal and just said: "Since the medicine is effective, Your Majesty just needs to take good care of it. Why go and look for it now?"

Don't you think it's a little late to go now after not letting them go a long time ago?

"I'm afraid that my brain will be burned out soon. Some things need to be arranged earlier."

Emperor Tai'an coughed again, and after breathing heavily, he simply said: "If you can't do the second thing, then if something happens to me, you can send the third prince to Qingzhou and let him follow Zhou Qiong. This can be considered completed." Got the second one.”

The leader's expression could not be seen, but from his somewhat surprised eyes, Emperor Tai'an could still tell the resistance in this person's heart, and said: "I only let you give it away, and did not let you participate in the change of the throne. This is incompatible with the rules of your Qilin Guards." Do not conflict."

The leader snorted in his heart.

If that time really comes, what will it mean to send a prince who is qualified to inherit to the army of Zhenxi?

Who do you think is the fool?

The leader weighed the pros and cons and suddenly smiled and said: "Before accepting your Majesty's second deployment, I have a piece of news to send to your Majesty. Your Majesty will make a decision after hearing it?"

He originally wanted to keep it a secret, but seeing Emperor Tai'an making these arrangements that could disrupt the survival of Qilin Health, the leader felt a little annoyed.

Their Qilin Guards are only loyal to Dong Rui and ensure the continuation of the Xiao family's imperial bloodline. They cannot interfere in these imperial power struggles.

To put it bluntly, whoever wins can be their master.

You don’t have any real ability, but you still want to sit on the throne?

Dreaming.

It's just that Emperor Tai'an didn't have many heirs, and they were afraid that their little bit of blood would be killed by the old foxes in the court, so they paid a little more attention.

"what news?"

The leader said: "The person you are looking for has returned to Ruidu. You might as well wait. Maybe he will show up on his own?"

Emperor Tai'an sat up straight in surprise, "You mean Cong'er? Cong'er is back, but since he's back, why don't you come to see me?"

The leader looked at him speechlessly.

You took advantage of the situation and buried him as a prince. Who dares to come back casually?

Maybe before I even see you, someone pretends to be a prince and shoots me dead!

Emperor Tai'an soon realized this.

He said sadly: "This child blames me..."

Just like his mother, she didn't talk or smile, just looked at him with a pair of clear eyes.

Looking at it made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.

"How is he now? Has he been injured?" Emperor Tai'an asked again.

While waiting for the leader to answer, he was still a little nervous and apprehensive, fearing that the other party would say something he didn't want to hear.

"It's so secretive that it's difficult to investigate further. But I can confirm that his life is safe and his limbs are intact."

Emperor Tai'an breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay."

I just feel better when breathing.

"Your Majesty, do you want our Qilin Guards to protect you or bring the eldest prince back?" the leader asked.

Emperor Tai'an looked hesitant.

After a long while, he said quietly: "No need, I believe in my son, and I'm waiting for him to come back."

The leader nodded, "Then the Qilin Guards will be waiting for His Majesty's dispatch later."

Emperor Tai'an nodded and watched him leave.

On the second day, Emperor Tai'an's fever finally began to come down, but his throat was so sore that he could hardly speak.

The Liu family's party even took advantage of the situation, saying that they wanted the second prince to come forward to supervise the country.

"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that when the emperor is ill, the prince will supervise the country. You have not yet appointed the prince, so why not let the second prince, who is the elder, supervise the country on your behalf?"

"The second prince is already twelve years old and has grown up under the Queen's knees. He is the best candidate."
